Dubai South, the largest urban development project focusing on aviation, logistics, and real estate, has inaugurated a new distribution center for Hellmann Caliber Healthcare Logistics within its logistics zone. This development mirrors the increasing demand for specialized healthcare logistics solutions and strengthens Dubai’s position as a leading regional hub for supply chains in this vital sector.
With this new addition, Hellmann Caliber now operates five distribution centers in the UAE, reinforcing its status as a prominent provider of comprehensive healthcare logistics services in the region. This expansion aligns with the growing need for flexible and reliable supply chains, particularly as regulatory requirements evolve and the demand for precise management of temperature-sensitive medical products rises.
From its logistics zone in Dubai South, the new center will enhance the company’s storage capacity and broaden the range of value-added logistics services and tailored client solutions. It has been designed to meet market demands, including the management of health products requiring swift handling and delivery, temperature-sensitive items maintaining the highest compliance standards, safe handling of hazardous materials, and comprehensive digital transparency, alongside efficient distribution processes up to the final delivery stage.
